Technolust: Music to my Ears

A few days ago, I said I’d pretty much decided to get the new iPhone 4. My Android predilections, however, have gotten the better of me, thanks in part to Engadget’s lengthy review of the HTC Aria. I believe my future phone has been found!

Not The Droids I’m Looking For

My boss told me today that she’s getting a Droid Incredible soon. I have to say I’m incredibly jealous (no pun intended). As I mentioned a few months ago, I’ve been trying to decide what smartphone to get soon. I’ve pretty much resigned myself to buying an iPhone 4, but I’m still very drawn to […]

So Long, Floppy Disks…

Does anyone still remember floppy disks? I know that might seem a silly question, but I suspect many teenagers have never even seen one. We live in an era were USB drives are the de-facto method for transporting data, but when I was growing up in the 90s, it was all about the 3.5-in floppy […]

Technolust: The HTC Droid Incredible

As a longtime fan of Google’s many and varied products – from GMail, Reader, and Docs to their superb Chrome browser – it should be obvious that I’m at least somewhat interested in the Android cellphone OS. I don’t own an Android-based phone myself, but I’m certainly considering one. The only thing holding me back […]

I Heart My Netbook!

After months of researching and deliberating and another few days of waiting, it finally arrived on Friday: my very first netbook. I’ve been playing around with the device throughout the weekend – installing and configuring programs, acclimating myself to the smaller form factor – but today marks my first real world test. That’s right: I’m […]

iPhone OS 4.0: The Future is… Soon

Last week, I wrote about Apple’s imminent announcement regarding the next version of the iPhone OS.  Well, Jobs has since shown his hand and it may actually be a winner. Multitasking, Game Center, and Folders all look to be great additions to the platform. I can’t wait to try them out on my iPod Touch […]

Netbooks, iPads, and Long, Rambling Blogs about Both

The last few days have been incredibly busy, between writing papers, visiting my girlfriend in Tahoe, repairing a TV (of all things), and of course digesting every detail of the upcoming iPhone OS 4.0. If all that weren’t enough, yesterday I finally picked out and subsequently ordered my graduation gift: a shiny new netbook.

iPhone OS 4.0: Hopes for a Better Smartphone?

Once again, Apple has something up their sleeve. Today, just a few days after the release of the iPad, the company is going to reveal the details for the next version of the iPhone OS, which powers not only the iPhone but the iPad and iPod Touch as well. I’m an iPod Touch owner myself, […]

Off to the Apple Store

Tomorrow, that is. After further review, I’m thinking I may want to buy the revamped 6G iPod (Classic) rather than the touch. The main reason is HDD space. Currently, I have 6.9 GB of music in my library, excluding another 0.5 GB of Podcasts (mostly Grammar Girl) plus whatever videos I decide to add. In […]

I’m getting a new iPod

As much as I love my green iPod Mini, I’ve known for a while that its days are numbered. From almost the beginning, the 4GB capacity wasn’t enough to fit my music library, let alone my growing podcast habit. More recently, the battery life has dwindled considerably, and it loses power even when not in […]
